WHAT DOES MODISH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

modish

Mod (subculture)

Mod is a British youth subculture of the early to mid-1960s and was briefly revived in later decades. Focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a small group of London-based stylish young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz. Significant elements of the mod subculture include fashion; music; and motor scooters. The original mod scene was associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs. There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California and Toronto, Canada.
